Pop appears strong choice for Coach of Month honors

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich doesn’t care much about these kind of honors, but he likely is headed for another Coach of the Month honor when they are announced early this week.

The Spurs have compiled the best record in the Western Conference during the month of March, notching a 12-3 mark. Chicago has the best March record in the league at 13-3.

Considering that Oklahoma City at 11-5 has the next best record in the West, it might be hard to keep from picking Popovich for one of the honors that goes to the top coach in each conference each month. It would be his 14th — most in NBA history.
